Z33K is turning 1 year old! As part of the celebration we’re launching the $50 NA Z33K Daily and the NA Z33K Monthly! We’re also launching the Z33K point system, Z33K TV, a new look for the website, embedded brackets, and the ‘Allow Latecomers’ feature for player-run tournaments.
Summary:
• Celebration of Z33K’s 1 year anniversary
• Launch of the Z33K $50 North American Daily
• Launch of the Z33K North American Monthly
• Launch of Z33K TV
• New homepage and redesign
• New Tournament features: Embeddable brackets and Allow Latecomers
• We’re recruiting
The Z33K Launch Tournament was held September 6th, 2010 and three months later the Mondaily #1 took place. The series is now the longest running daily tournament in Starcraft2. There have been more than 250 dailies with over 15,000 signups.
This success is due to you, the wonderful Starcraft 2 community, and your insatiable desire for competitive tournament play. Thank you! Thanks also to our staff, made up entirely of volunteers who dedicate many hours building what has become one of the pillars of competitive play in the Starcraft 2 community. Thanks to our sponsors and everyone who has sponsored an SC2 event, you’ve dedicated resources to support what we love doing and we appreciate it.
“We saw a lot of interest in the weekend and tuesday/thursday tournaments on z33k, but we wanted to create something more consistent on a daily basis. Today it is something players can rely on for organized competitive play.” – Max LaRue, Z33K Co-Founder and creator of the Daily
The Z33K NA Daily is nothing new, but starting September 1st it will include a $50 prize pool every day. It is open to anyone who can play on the North American server and is designed to be accessible, consistent, and rewarding. It is held every day at 6:30 pm PT / 9:30 pm ET / 03:30 CET / 10:30 KST at Z33K.com.
NA Z33K Daily prize pool: $50 USD
1st place: $35
2nd place: $15
(winners paid via paypal)
If you aren’t able to play on the NA server, we also have an EU Daily (currently) with no prize and many other great European events.
We’re also excited to announce the NA Z33K Monthly with a significantly larger prize pool than the Daily. The NA Z33K Monthly is a 128 man invitational and the only way to qualify is by playing in the Daily. Starting September 1st you’ll be rewarded for every daily you compete in via the new Z33K point system. These points will help decide the top 128 players and seed the Monthly bracket. Placing 1st or 2nd in any daily will also automatically qualify you for the Monthly. Prize: TBA.
Z33K TV will be the choice stream for Z33K run events and to kick off it will be showcasing the Z33K NA Daily and Z33K NA Monthly. Our lineup of casters is TBA, but they'll be bringing you action from every Daily and Monthly!
Part of the Z33K TV vision is to lower the cost of entry for new viewers. This means working to add relevance and context to games. We want your feedback and we want your help. Interested NA casters should email jobs@z33k.com.
We’re also extremely excited to release our brand new home page and redesign. It’s sleeker than before and better represents the quality of the Z33K backend. Our goal with the redesign is improved functionality and appearance. Please tell us what you think here.
Embedded Brackets:
New features have been added as part of our commitment to make tools available to the community for organizers to host their own SC2 tournaments for free. Included in this update is the ability to embed brackets on a remote website – simply paste either the iframe or javascript embed code from your Z33K tournament into your page source.
Allow Latecomers:
There are times when it would be nice to allow late-comers to join a tournament after it starts. This is precisely what the optional latecomer tournament setting allows. Until the specified latecomer time duration is exceeded, players who join the tournament will be automatically placed into the bracket, filling in any remaining empty spots.
Thank you!
